| A right shiner! |
Just when I was saying nice things about lighthouses along comes this chunk of concrete. Performs a vital function I'm sure but not exactly in the old fashioned tradition. This is located at Point Cartwright at the mouth of the Mooloolah River on the Sunshine Coast and is a mere 29 years old. We ran up to here and back on our latest parkrun at Kawana. Once again I managed to top the age related charts, but am still a way off breaking 20 minutes - we were both first over sixties though! An undulating course and the shade of the beachside trees didn't help much - if anything it stopped the sea breezes from cooling the runners, again it was well over 20 degrees at 7 am - how do they manage in the summer? Still we met some very friendly folk and worked up a thirst.
Here's the first over 60 lady hurtling towards the finish line!

| Just like Blackpool! |
The local beach mid afternoon - you can see by the footprints that there have been some happy visitors to this wonderful long sandy beach but by this time the temperature has started to drop to the mid twenties so everybody's gone home - apart from us!
